NekoMika's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[NG Audio Bridge]

This was probably really cool back in the day but trying to play with it now results in absolutely nothing. I do imagine that this is solely due to it no longer having access to a database after the 2011 Newgrounds update that changed a lot of stuff. :(

The host I used had horrible up time and I decided it wasn't with owning the website that served the music.

This was really awesome at the time of its release... however; I feel it has not entirely aged well. I notice that when shuffling or trying to play new audio, it does not seem to play any audio or show any art that was made after November 2012 which is sad. :(

Otherwise, it is a neat gadget. Just kind of wish it was able to be fixed to play newer stuff and show newer art.

[Sandile's Challenge]

It is not too bad, the graphics interface could have used or even borrowed elements from the Pokemon franchise but otherwise this is not a bad way to test one's Pokemon knowledge. Kind of wish this had been longer when this was made back in the day.

[Love at first bite]

This was a very well made and well written dating sim. It is short, well written, makes the story and dating sim after easy and not feel like a chore to go through. Relaxing short visual novel and the pun or two did not go unappreciated. Hope you make more like this one in the future, this was a cute love story. I like how he wants to stay with her regardless because he cares that much about her.

[Lucario Dating Sim 2]

The graphics are nice but the way the game is played out is just so POORLY executed. One should not have to keep clicking on different keys to advance a visual novel unless it's a mini-game or shmup part. It just looks really bad when trying to read the visual novel itself.

Thank you so, so much for the comment! I completely agree with this. It’s so amazing to have people with experience and tons of fans on this site checking out my game! I’m working on a Lucario Dating Sim 3 with even better graphics, and a story that’s emotional and I’m really proud of! I really hope you’ll stick around for it!

In playing this, the intro is just waaaay too long in my opinion. The text should scroll roughly 7% faster so it will not feel as drawn out.

The Lucario at the title screen has more of a look of confusion and in playing this game, I have become equally confused at what is even going on in this game at all.

The music seems like it is straight out of an early 90s action film.... which seems misleading as there is not much fighting, action scenes, or anything happening really.

The gameplay itself is simple, click dialog boxes to advance the plot and get one of several endings. I would change one thing though, fix it so when someone clicks on a textbox before the text finishes; that it shows all the text first before advancing. It just seems oddly inconsistent when some screens already have all of the text showing when others have the text slowly appearing.

Overall, it's not bad but not that great either. Also, I do not think Lucario is the cutest but then again; I guess everyone has a different opinion on what Pokemon they think are cute.

Good song, good game concept, having to watch your shadow and make sure it cannot follow can be difficult at times. Art style is interesting.

LucidShadowDreamer responds:

Ooh, didn't expect to suddenly get a review from you here! That makes me very happy :)
I'd have to agree the visual design isn't the most professional xD
I'm glad you stilled enjoyed it though! Thanks a lot :D

[No Touch]

That cat just does not want to be touched by anything, lol. Cute and short silly game.

[Trigger Knight]

Fantastic and simple fun

The graphics were old school and decent. The dragon sprite though seems a bit familiar, not sure what game I played on here years earlier that had a similar looking dragon, maybe How to Raise a Dragon?

The sound effects seemed fitting enough but I think there could have been more variety for weapon and armor sounds rather than one sound effect being used. The music was also decent and fitting for the game.

The game play was simple and is a strategy game as well since you need to think ahead a little to survive longer, Divine Sword will help to take care of dragons with ease as they have really strong attacks even with good armor equipped.

Overall, fun game, I just recommend changing sounds if you ever do anything with this game again someday.
